'Schmadtke knows him very well': Bundesliga commentator on why Liverpool should sign Van de Ven

Bundesliga commentator Kevin Hatchard was asked about Micky van de Ven and whether Liverpool should sign him.

He gave a glowing report of the Wolfsburg centre-back and revealed what he would bring to the team.

"Yeah, I think there’s a very promising young player there and more importantly, there’s a player who’s just had a really solid season with Wolfsburg.

:He played almost every game, every minute actually, until deep into the season.

:And, he’s somebody who really stepped up under Niko Kovac who’s very much a coach who concentrates on the organisational side of the game, the defensive side of the game, so he was always going to take a step forward."

On the issue of whether the transfer will happen, he added: "He is somebody that Jorg Schmadtke knows very, very well because he was the one that signed him from Volendam.

"Ajax were very interested in him when he made that move, so Wolsfburg were able to nip in there and get him.

"Obviously, a move to Liverpool is enormous – you would have to convince him that he had a genuine chance of progression and getting into the first team on a regular basis eventually."
